Feilb- yes it would be embarrassing if they got this wrong, but didn’t have no self esteem to start with. What you have to remember is they are big kickbacks for the BOD for getting ludricous
deals such as this through over the line. You only have to look at Jarvis and Mouchel as an example, where the BOD were paid a few hundred thousands of pounds each to get the d4e deal through.
The 5% deal is still ludricous as you say it’s still below the current share price and for the robust business IRV is. I was tempted to sell today at 20p and buy back In at a later date, as this could tank like anything tommorow or shoot up like a rocket, but couldn’t justify selling at a 65k loss.
What spooked me was City AM apparently quoting from a well placed source that they will not just give in to Coltrane easily. After all why would they? They will not get the 500k each that the banks will give them should they get their deal through.
